Buddy Reading

Buddy Reading is back at John Betts!

 

We are so pleased to be able to reintroduce our Buddy Reading across the school.

 

Buddy readers are paired with children from older classes to foster a love of reading and interactions that encourage conversations around stories. The older children get to become the teacher and encourage the children to be inquisitive about the book they are reading. It also allows the younger children the chance to be read to by an older child and build friendships.

 

Announcements

If you are going through the admissions process for a Reception place in September 2026 and would like to see the school, please call the school office on 02087482465 and a member of the team will be happy to book you onto one of the weekly tours taking place throughout the autumn term on Tuesdays at 10.00am.
